Sarah got out of the cab and stepped into Michael's office. She could feel people staring at her curiously, perhaps because her face looked familiar, or because her expression looked very annoyed at the moment.
Yes, after Sarah thought about it again in the cab, her kids were attacked because that woman was Michael's ex-girlfriend.
Wasn't it Michael's fault?
Sarah neglected to approach the receptionist and went straight into the elevator and pressed the button for Michael's floor.
As soon as the elevator opened and took her to the floor, Sarah's feet headed straight for Michael's room.
James, who was working at his desk, looked up to see who was walking with hasty steps.
His eyes widened when he saw it was Sarah.
"Mrs. Smith?!" said James, rising from his seat.
"Michael's inside, right?" Sarah asked as she walked past James without waiting for the man's response.
"That..."
Too late. Sarah had opened the door and come inside
Meanwhile, Michael, who was on a video conference call, wanted to curse the person who suddenly opened the door without knocking first.
He was ready to curse the person, but he had to swallow his words when he saw that it was Sarah.
The expression on his face was surprised to see the woman and not long after, a smile appeared on his face.
What a surprise. A pleasant surprise.
Not long after, the figure of James came to the open door. The expression on his face was guilt-ridden and looked at Michael with an apologetic look for not having managed to guard the door properly.
Michael just nodded, the look on his face showing that it was absolutely fine.
James then excused himself to leave.
Meanwhile, Sarah, who had entered, was standing in front of Michael's desk. The expression on her face that had looked annoyed, changed when she realized that at this moment Michael seemed to be busy.
She had been too angry to realize that, but that didn't make her back down or leave. She stood where she was while waiting for Michael to finish.
Michael then looked at Sarah, who at this moment looked like she wanted to talk with him, he then looked at the computer monitor screen and apologized to the people in front of him that at this time he had an emergency and had to finish the video call.
There was a reply that they understood, and the video call ended.
Michael then stood up from his chair and walked over to Sarah who was still standing in front of his desk.
"So… why did you come here? Let's sit down first," Michael said with a smile on his face and moved his left hand to point to the sofa in his room, while his right hand rose and tried to hold Sarah's shoulder.
He didn't know why Sarah had come to see him, but he was really pleased to see her.
However, Michael's facial expression immediately changed when Sarah walked up to him and suddenly hit him in the chest with both hands, venting her anger.
That took Michael by surprise. He had no idea Sarah's visit would turn out like this.
Michael then held Sarah's hands by holding her wrists.
"Can you tell me what happened?" asked Michael with a confused look on his face.
He didn't mind Sarah venting her anger on him this way. However, he had to know in advance what was upsetting her for Sarah hitting him without saying anything.
Is there any new news coming up?
"Ah? Is it because I mentioned that you are my ex-wife?" asked Michael, trying to guess what had happened.
Michael did know about the news that he had been married and divorced had spread on the internet.
He also knew Sarah's information had also been spread. However, Michael did not intend to take down the news.
It seemed like, just like him, people didn't know Sarah was married to him before, so Michael wanted to take advantage of that to keep no other man from getting close to her.
You want to approach a woman who was once married to and is being chased by Michael Collins?
Hah! Come and try it!
Even so, Michael still told James to keep an eye on Sarah's information so it wouldn't spread all over.
It was just that the woman was a doctor who worked in one of the major hospitals in London and her name was Sarah.
Is that why Sarah came here to scold him?
Sarah didn't struggle or try to pull her hand away when Michael held her, she slightly tilted her head to look him in the eyes because Michael was a little taller than her.
"Do you know who did this? Who spreads my kids' info on the internet?" Sarah asked in a rising voice.
Her eyes were full of anger as she looked at Michael.
Michael's expression looked confused when he heard what Sarah asked.
So, that woman didn't come here because the news about her spread on the internet.
Okay, that's good. Sarah doesn't seem to have a problem with that.
However, the culprit who spreads their kids' info on the internet?
Michael had absolutely no idea. He had told James to find out about it, but he had not found a report from James, indicating that his secretary had not found any information.
"That's Elizabeth, that blonde woman!" Sarah said in a high tone when she saw the look on Michael's face that looked confused.
"What?!" Michael's eyes widened when he heard what just came out of Sarah's lips. His facial expression looked surprised.
The one who did this was Elizabeth?!
Seeing the surprised Michael, Sarah withdrew her hand which was still held by Michael roughly.
"Now be honest with me, Michael!" Sarah said, looking at the man. This time the look in her eyes no longer showed anger, nor did her voice.
Sarah had a sad expression on her face.
"Is that true… you guys plan to get married, and you broke the marriage because of me?" Sarah asked quietly and in a low voice.
Even though the blonde woman was the woman who snatched Michael from her, Sarah never wanted to be the one to snatch a man from another woman, especially when they had previously planned to get married.
"What?!" Michael's expression looked surprised to hear that. "That's bullshit! Where did you hear that?!" asked Michael, looking annoyed.
How could Sarah say something like that?
"I heard it from that woman!"
"What?" Again, Michael was surprised to hear that.
What actually happened? No! How did Sarah know that the culprit was Elizabeth?
Michael never thought it was the woman at all because she seemed to have understood that their relationship was over when he fired her.
"Are you sure, Michael?" Sarah asked, still not believing the man's words. "You don't intend to marry her and cancel your marriage because of me?"
Michael caught his breath when he heard Sarah's words
"Sarah," Michael called softly, his hand then grabbed Sarah's hand and held it. "I never canceled a wedding because of you, or intended to marry her," he continued, looking Sarah in the eye to show his sincerity.
Sarah bit her lower lip when she heard that. She was relieved that what that woman said was a lie, but…
"She said I snatched you from her," Sarah said quietly.
"What? She's crazy!" said Michael who could not hide his irritation when he heard that.
"You have a relationship with her, right?" Sarah asked, still looking at Michael. "She said you two have been in a relationship for nine years!"
Michael's expression looked surprised when he heard that. Actually, what did Elizabeth say to Sarah? He didn't know how long he had been in a relationship with that woman because he didn't count them. Has it been that long?
"So you really have a relationship with her," Sarah said with a smile when she saw the look on Michael's face. It was a sad smile.
She thought that woman was lying about her relationship with Michael. Maybe the woman actually just admired Michael, but it turns out they really have a relationship.
Does that mean Michael and the woman's relationship started when Michael was still married to her?
Suddenly, Sarah felt something slice her heart. The sadness that she thought she had let go of years ago suddenly came back.
She thought the wound was completely gone. But it looks like it's still there.
"It's not like that," Michael said with a sigh. "I don't have that kind of relationship with her," he continued quietly, looking at Sarah.
"So what's your relationship like?" Sarah asked with a snort. "Nine years, Michael! Nine years! Your relationship is even longer than the twins' age! Then you say you have no relationship with her?" Sarah continued in a rising voice.
Michael didn't say anything when he heard that. His lips were tightly closed. He knew that what he had done in the past would surely come back to him again, like when he didn't say his marital status, but he had no idea what would come next was what he did with Elizabeth.
Seeing Michael who was just silent, Sarah just snorted and smiled with her lips raised. HSh didn't know what kind of relationship Michael and women were in, but it seemed special enough that Michael couldn't explain himself.
Sarah then turned around. There was no point in her being here anymore. She thought she would get an explanation from Michael, but it seemed she was wrong.
Unknowingly, tears rolled down her cheeks as she turned around. Her heart ached.
"Wait!"
Suddenly, Sarah felt someone grab her wrist.
